Is the 3 wire plug in properly & the hard drive plugged all the way in. If these are plugged in, your hard drive may be bad or the wrong configuration. Good luck.

The constant blue light means that it is working! Not clear why it will not connect with your laptop. You might try an email to the Vantec NexStar folks--they have been responsive in the past.

My Vantec NexStar's blue light flashes until my computer recognizes it, then stays on constant. Continual flashing means that your computer is not recognizing the hard drive in the Vantec. Could be a number of reasons. Is this a new start up? Has it ever worked in the past? Have you tried it on another computer? If it has worked before, I'm guessing a drive failure.

The flashing blue light indicates that the power is on. Is your 3.5" disk connected properly to the enclosure? The are 2 way of connecting: 1) Via USB port. 2) Via Esata port. Make sure you are using just one not 2 at the same time.

Check if the blue light on the USB stub is still flashing. It it still flashes, sync is not okay. Normally for windows PC, it can take quite a while for the system to recognize the remote control.

I have two these and have never seen this issue. I am sure you have tried to unplug it and plug in back maybe to reset the computer. Other than that not sure, how old is it.

This might be a repeat answer. If you have pluged the unit into another outlet and the light still flashes I think you should return it.

Hello. If you hold the front button down for a few seconds and the unit doesn't eventually emit some beeps and a blue light doesn't start flashing, you may have a problem that I can't advise you on. Good luck.

Maybe try unplugging it and then plug it back in...usually when the green light flashes it is because of the timer...it will automatically shut down after an hour then you have to power off and then on again....let me know if this helps if not we can try something else

The blue light is not supposed to flash at all. I have had my unit for several months now and have not seen any indication other than a steady green light. You should attempt to replace the battery ( I use lithium in mine ) , reset the unit, check your connections and make sure there are no loose wires and see how that works.

Mine was installed yesterday and already with new duracells the "replace" is flashing, and the backlit display never goes off. But I think I must have gotten a faulty unit.

No. It sounds like a defective unit. The LEDs should only flash when charging.

Me to, I thought it was just me. I just unplug it and then plug it back in. I repeat this process until it works, usually I have to plug and unplug a couple of times. Annoying. Dan

I got it connected but the screen flickers every few seconds. I Think I got a defective mini dvi.

Probably it is not working properly, mouse light should be on. Warranty is directly apply with Lenovo support center.

It should just do it if you hold the button until it flashes dark blue. If it doesn't there may be a problem with it. Email the company and they'll send you a new one.

I wish i could help, but guess what? I have the very same problem and mine is pretty new! If you get them to connect please let me know so i can try my luck.

I keep on having issue's with mine too. It does not work well, it keeps on turning off and stop cooling my laptop after every few seconds and I have to tap on the back to turn it on. This product is horrible and I only used mine for 2 times. I wish I could return it to get a refund or a replacement.

Unfortunately the same thing happened to mine. I could get it to come on from time to time if I let it reset itself but it always would cut itself back off and get the same flashing light. Do some google research on the issue and there are a few things out there that people said to try but nothing worked for me. hate to be the bearer of bad news but it may be time to get a new one if you are out of warranty. I couldn't find any repair solutions that were cheaper than buying a new unit.

Mine started flashing when turned on for more than a few minutes. Sometimes it started flashing when turned off (but plugged in). The only way to get it to stop is to unplug it. Contacted Westpoint Stevens; a rep said to "reset" it by unplugging the control from the pad and from the wall. This didn't fix the problem. I was told that I could ship it back to Westpoint, at my expense (about fourteen dollars), and would be sent either a replacement control or a refund.
